Russian love story not in the "Dr. Zhivago" class..., 13 November 2008
5/10
Author: Neil Doyle from U.S.A.

There's a heavy dose of Russian music and quaint customs in WE LIVE AGAIN, but it's a dull affair under the direction of Rouben Mamoulian.

FREDRIC MARCH is a Russian officer in love with a peasant girl. Their affair leads to her pregnancy which ends with the death of the child while March is away unaware of the circumstances his sweetheart (ANNA STEN) has undergone. The screenplay cuts away from these circumstances but we can only assume she becomes a "fallen woman." What starts out as light hearted romance turns into a turgid melodrama as Sten suffers and suffers for her sins. She's sent to Siberia for five years by an overbearing judge (C. AUBREY SMITH) and the overly melodramatic ending has March wanting to repent for his sins by joining her in Siberia for the duration of her sentence.

It's pretty heavy going with both March and Sten doing their best to make it look like a decent drama. The supporting cast includes JESSIE RALPH, ETHEL GRIFFIES and, in a very small role, SAM JAFFE.

Summing up: Easy to forget.
